You will not be the best runner. How...Guess what? You will not be the best runner. However, you will see improvement and you will achieve satisfaction. It can be frustrating but failure is part of the process. You might want to set a tiered goal next time – maybe a Gold, Silver, Bronze medal. In this case Gold would have been 59:59, Silver would have been 1:00 – 1:05 and Bronze would have been running the race as hard as you could and not stopping to walk or give up and any of those negative things. Congratulations for lacing up your shoes and putting it all out there in the line!<br /><br />In addition, it sounds like you had a great race but it was tarnished by you not realizing a specific number. Trust me, I understand, most of us are cut from the same cloth.<br />Regarding the 10 miler -<br /> <br />Check out the link (turn your speakers down) - http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/mcmillanrunningcalculator.htm<br /><br />Using the calculator, we can get a good idea of what you ‘can’ run at various distances. You still have to do the training and develop the base, however.<br /><br />Let’s give it a little bit of a cushion since it is pushing the distance out a bunch (your running base is not huge) – I say shoot for 1:45 for the 10 miler (that will give you about 30 seconds per mile extra than your 10k). That can be your GOLD MEDAL goal.Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520836632094900110.post-42101671997618174282011-03-14T11:54:34.399-04:002011-03-14T11:54:34.399-04:00Agreed, keep up all the great work.Agreed, keep up all the great work.Jordyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602839932091051113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520836632094900110.post-75570049950033816532011-03-14T08:40:33.782-04:002011-03-14T08:40:33.782-04:00Great perspective FTWGreat perspective FTWEric Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131429295356358610noreply@blogger.com
